Black River Blues -

Black river blues

My cheatin' heart’s been torn in two

I’d love to stay with you awhile

But I’ve got to burn one thousand black river miles

Before I sleep, before I rest

‘Cause I’ve got two loves burnin' holes inside my chest

And it’s something you know I gotta do

Before I lay me down to sleep here beside you

When I get home…

When I get home…

When I get home…

There’s a two-lane highway in my mind

My heart’s divided by white lines

So what am I supposed to do

When the lane I love is the lane takes me further from you?

And that black river’s callin' my name

And if I don’t go I know I’ll go insane

And I’ll walk a thousand miles in these worn out shoes

And then I’ll lay me down to sleep here beside you

When I get home…

When I get home…

When I get home…
